Session Title
From “left shift” to joined-up practice: clinical best practice for early identification and coordinated palliative care across general practice and community pharmacy
Description
- Early identification that enables action: practical ways GP and community pharmacy teams can spot escalating need earlier, record it, and turn it into coordinated care planning.
- Making 24/7 care real: what “good” looks like for anticipatory care planning, shared information, and timely access to end-of-life medicines—especially out of hours.
- Neighbourhood working in practice: how the emerging Modern Service Framework direction and integrated neighbourhood/virtual-ward models create opportunities (and pressures) for a more integrated workforce—plus how the Daffodil Standards help teams make small, realistic improvements.
